The sales managers should use Maps Advanced and create logical visit plans to ensure a logical routing structure for door to door sales and cover all houses on one street before moving to the next. Maps Advanced allows users to create visit plans based on various criteria, such as frequency, priority, location, and availability. Users can also use logical visit plans, which are a type of visit plan that assigns visits based on proximity and order. This can help users visit all the houses on one street before moving to the next, and reduce travel time and distance. This is explained in the Create a Logical Visit Plan document.

According to the Trailhead module 3, this is the correct type of report and field for creating a data set that integrates with Enterprise Territory Management. An Accounts and Territories report can show the accounts that are assigned to territories, and the Territory Id field can be used to assign units to areas based on their territory membership.

Schedule is the feature that they should use to optimize their outside sales team’s time in the field and ensure that their stops appear in their Salesforce calendar as events. Schedule is a feature that allows users to create and optimize a schedule of appointments for a day or a week4. Schedule requires all appointments to have a start and end time or duration5. Schedule also lets users sync their appointments with their Salesforce calendar as events4. This way, the users can optimize their time in the field and keep track of their scheduled events. Click2Create is a feature that allows users to create records directly from the map view, such as leads or accounts2. Data Layers are layers that display data from Salesforce objects or external sources on the map6. Routes are features that allow users to create and optimize a route of stops for a day without requiring scheduled start and end times or durations4. These features are not relevant to the goal of optimizing their outside sales team’s time in the field and ensuring that their stops appear in their Salesforce calendar as events.

Routes is the feature that supports the use of Custom Drive Profiles. Custom Drive Profiles are used to create routes that are optimized for trucks and other vehicles that might not be able to travel the same roads as passenger cars3. A route can be optimized based on the specificcharacteristics of a truck and its cargo, such as height, weight, length, and hazardous materials3. To use this feature, the user needs to create a Salesforce Maps Drive Profiles tab and a custom object for Maps Drive Profile3. Then, the user can create a new Drive Profile with the details of the vehicle and select it when creating a route in Salesforce Maps3. The characteristics of the vehicle’s Drive Profile will be used to create a route that is compliant with published permanent road restrictions3. Favorite Location, Schedule, and Marker Layer are not features that support the use of Custom Drive Profiles.

These are two considerations that a Salesforce admin should keep in mind when setting up the OAuth user in order to establish a secure connection with the Salesforce Maps Routing Engine. An OAuth user is required to perform optimizations for routes in Advanced Routing4. The OAuth user should have the following permissions and roles6:

• The OAuth user should have the Salesforce Maps Advanced Permission Set License assigned.
• The OAuth user should have the Maps Admin and SF Maps Advanced Permission Sets assigned.
• The OAuth User has been assigned to a role that is above the Maps Advanced end-users in the Salesforce Role Hierarchy. The OAuth user does not need to be assigned to an active visit plan, as this is not relevant for setting up an OAuth user. The OAuth user does not need to be assigned to the ‘OAuth user’ profile, as this is not a valid profile in Salesforce.

According to the Trailhead module 2, this is the best strategy for creating a data set with a large number of accounts. A single SOQL query can retrieve up to 500,000 records, and aggregating to the container level can reduce the number of units in the data set. This can improve the performance and efficiency of Territory Planning.

According to the Salesforce Help document 1, this error means that the user specified in the file does not match an existing Salesforce User. The admin needs to make sure that the user name or ID in the file is correct and that the user has access to Territory Planning.

Balance prioritizes equal distribution of the selected attribute across territories in your focus. This is the best option for ensuring revenue is distributed as evenly as possible across the entire sales team1. References: Optimization in Salesforce Maps Territory Planning

Removing those accounts from focus or locking those units to the area are two options that a Consultant should recommend to prevent changes to key accounts during optimization in Territory Planning. Removing those accounts from focus means that they will not be included in the optimization process, while locking those units to the area means that they will not move during optimization, but the value of those units will be considered when creating balanced areas2. Leveraging a legend filter to remove those accounts or removing those accounts from the data set are not recommended options, as they will affect the accuracy and completeness of the data and the optimization results.

According to the Trailhead module 2, there are two possible reasons for missing markers on mobile devices compared to desktop devices. One is that the maximum records to plot setting for mobile is considerably less compared to desktop, which means that only a subset of records will be plotted on the map. The other is that the plot visible area feature is enabled, which means that only the records that fall within the current map view will be plotted.

One way to automate the process of clearing coordinates for records that have address changes is to use a Salesforce automation tool, such as Process Builder or Flow Builder. These tools can help create workflows that trigger actions based on certain criteria or events. For example, the account executive from Alpine Energy can use Process Builder to create a process that runs whenever an account is created or edited,and checks if any of the address fields have changed. If so, the process can execute an action that clears the latitude and longitude values of the account record. This way, the next time the account is plotted on Salesforce Maps, it will geocode with the updated address and plot in the correct location. Alternatively, the account executive can use Flow Builder to create a flow that performs similar logic and actions as the process, but with more flexibility and customization options. For more information on how to use Process Builder or Flow Builder, see the references below. References:

Permission Groups are the permission level that an admin should review if a user is able to view but not able to export a list of markers from Salesforce Maps. Permission Groups are used to grant access to features in Salesforce Maps, such as allowing marker exports, editing details tab fields, enabling weather tab, and so on1. The admin can edit existing permission groups or create new ones to assign different features to different users or profiles1. If a user is not able to export a list of markers from Salesforce Maps, it means that the user does not have the ‘Allow Marker Exports’ permission checked in the Permission Groups on Maps configuration page2. The admin can enable this permission for the user or profile by editing the corresponding permission group2.

These are the three steps that the admin must complete to include their custom object Alpine Customers in Maps Advanced routing. According to the article "Configure custom routable object for Maps Advanced"1, a routable object is an object that represents the location users will navigate to within their Salesforce Maps Advanced Visit Plans, such as Accounts. To configure a custom object as a routable object, the admin needs to create a lookup relationship field on the Maps Advanced Route Waypoint object that points to the custom object1. The admin also needs to create a custom report type for the custom object in order to import the customer listfor routing2. Additionally, the admin needs to ensure that all records of the custom object have geocodes (latitude/longitude values) assigned, as this is required for plotting them on the map and routing them3. Making sure that Click2Create is configured for Alpine Customers is not a necessary step, as Click2Create is a feature that allows users to create records directly from the map view, not to include them in routing4. Ensuring that users are assigned to the records or related records they want to route via user lookup field is also not a necessary step, as this is only required for Enterprise Territory Management integration, not for routing5.

A Salesforce Maps Solution Architect should have excellent verbal and written communication skills, understanding of design pitfalls and mitigation actions, and being effective at planning, monitoring, and reviewing Maps customer use cases to successfully scope the project. These abilities are essential for gathering and analyzing the customer’s requirements, designing and proposing the best solution, and ensuring the quality and satisfaction of the implementation. These abilities are also part of the Salesforce Maps Solution Architect Certification exam guide.

According to the Salesforce Help article on Sharing and Collaboration in Salesforce Maps Territory Planning6, one of the ways to share an alignment with stakeholders is to click the share button from the Browser, alignment header, or map legend. This will open a dialog box that allows users to share an alignment as a PDF file via email or download it locally6. The PDF file contains information such as alignment name, description, date range, dataset name, number of areas and units, unit assignment summary, unit distribution summary, map view, and area list

The Analyze and Compare tool in Territory Planning is used to compare different alignments or scenarios and see how they differ in terms of key metrics, such as revenue, number of accounts, or workload1. This can help communicate to Sales Leaders or Sales Managers the impact of different planning scenarios on their territories and areas. The Analyze and Compare tool is not used to create a new alignment, as this requires using the Optimize tool1. The Analyze and Compare tool is also not used to add additional attributes to the Data Set, as this requires using the Data Set Configuration tool1.

Salesforce Maps Live Tracking allows users to track the live and historical locations of vehicles, equipment, and users in the field. To generate reports on the distance driven by each sales rep, the admin needs to use the Maps Live Asset Daily Summary object. This object contains the summary data for each asset, such as the total distance, duration, and fuel consumption for a given day. The admin can create a report on this object and group it by the asset name or driver name to see the total mileage driven by each sales rep on their team. The other objects are not suitable for this purpose, because they either contain the individual events for each asset, such as stops, speeding, and safety incidents (Maps Live Asset Daily Summary Event), the driver information for each asset (Maps Live Driver), or the trip information for each asset, such as the start and end locations, distance, and duration (Maps Live Daily Trip). References: Salesforce Maps Live: Getting Started Guide, Create Live Daily Summary Configuration in Salesforce Maps, Get to Know Salesforce Maps Unit | Salesforce Trailhead

To set their office address as the default start and end location for new Routes within Salesforce Maps, a Sales Rep can follow these steps1:

• From the Maps interface, click on the Settings gear icon at the top right corner of the navigation bar.
• Select Routes & Schedule from the navigation sidebar on the left to open the Routes and Schedule settings menu.
• Under General, select an existing Favorite Location as the default start and end location. If the office address is not already a Favorite Location, the Sales Rep can create one by following these steps2:
• Click Save to save the default settings.

According to the Salesforce Help article on Create Live Daily Summary Configuration in Salesforce Maps1, one of the steps to create a daily summary configuration is to select a preexisting live layer. The selected live layer specifies what assets and IoT devices will beincluded in the daily summary configuration1. A live layer is a layer that displays the current location and status of assets that are tracked by IoT devices2.

The two possible causes of this behavior are that the client is using a Professional edition Org which limits the number of records that can be processed using API, and that users are assigned to the Default Maps Permission group that has the Max Query Size defined to 5000. These factors can affect the number of records that users can plot on Desktop using their Account based marker layers. The Professional edition Org has a limit of 5,000 API calls per user license per 24-hour period, which can restrict the amount of data that Salesforce Maps can access and display. The Default Maps Permission group has a default setting of 5,000 for the Max Query Size, which can limit the number of records that users can query and plot on Desktop. These factors are explained in the Salesforce API Request Limits and Allocations document and the Salesforce Maps Permission Groups document.

Maps Live Asset Daily Summary is the object that the Admin should include in a Salesforce Report to see the total distance traveled each day by a Sales Rep. Maps Live Asset Daily Summary is a custom object that stores information about the daily activities of a Maps Live Asset, such as a vehicle or a mobile device3. One of the fields in this object is Total Distance Traveled, which captures the total distance traveled by the asset in miles or kilometers4. By creating a report based on this object, the Admin can compare the actual distance traveled to the distance submitted by each Sales Rep for reimbursement. Maps Live Asset Daily Summary Event, Maps Live Event, and Maps Route are not the correct objects for this purpose.

heatmap is a render mode that can display closely-related markers colored according to their density. A heatmap is a graphical representation of data where the individual values contained in a matrix are represented as colors. A heatmap can show the intensity of data points in an area, such as the number of customers or sales volume.

According to the Salesforce Help document 1, to enable task creation on mobile devices, the admin needs to update the assigned button set to include the “New Task” button. This will allow the sales reps to log a task on an account within the map view from their mobile device.

The two permission sets that an admin must assign to a sales rep to enable their location tracking are SF Maps and SF Maps Live Mobile Tracking. These permission sets grant access to the Salesforce Maps app and the Salesforce Maps Live feature, which allow users to activate and deactivate live location tracking through their mobile device. The admin must also assign the corresponding permission set licenses and a Maps Permission Group with the Enable Live Mobile Tracking permission. This is explained in the Enable Live Location in the Maps App document.

According to the Salesforce Help article on Configuring Stop Associations for Live Daily Summary Configurations in Salesforce Maps3, two steps that an admin must take to configure Live Stop Associations are: create a Marker Layer that includes all records users will visit, and create a Shape Layer for each record that specifies the radius for associating a Stop event3. The Marker Layer will help identify the records that are relevant for Stop Associations, and the Shape Layer will help define the distance around each Stop Event that will be used to determine which records will associate with the Stop Event3.

A Consultant should recommend Publish to Salesforce Fields as the publish method in Territory Planning for a client who uses account owners as the primary method of territory assignment and has low influx of new accounts. This method allows users to update any field on any object with the territory name or ID. This can be useful for clients who want to assign accounts based on ownership and do not need to update them frequently. This method also works well for non-contiguous territories, as it does not rely on geographical boundaries. This is explained in the Publish to Fields in Salesforce Maps Territory Planning document.

Developer and Technical Architect are two team members that should be included during a Maps scoping session in which legacy data/mapping system migrations and integrations/interfaces will be discussed. These team members have the technical expertise and skills to assess the feasibility, complexity, and risks of migrating and integrating data from different sources and systems. They can also provide guidance and recommendations on how to design, develop, test, and deploy the data migration and integration solutions. These team members are part of the Salesforce Maps Implementation Methodology document.

The sales manager is unable to publish the alignment because they only have Commenter access to the alignment, the alignment must be submitted for approval before publishing, and the alignment must be approved before it can be published. These are the three possible reasons that prevent the sales manager from publishing the alignment to Salesforce Maps. Commenter access only allows users to view and comment on alignments, but not edit or publish them. Submitting and approving alignments are required steps for publishing alignments if Alignment Approval is enabled in the org. These are explained in the Control Access to Alignments and Set Up a Process for Alignment Approvals and Publishing documents.
